Make sure to circle back for the Tom ONeil episode. He spent 20 years writing a book about Charles Manskm, and unearthed several earth shattering revelations about the case.1. cia was most likely involved in allowing Charles Manson who was on probation throughout the entire period get away with multiple probation violations after spending half his life in prison. As a criminal defense attorney with the evidence he laid oitz it's obviois Manson had some sort of guardian angel Also lead prosecutor led key witnesses to commit perjury. The motive for the Tate murder the prosecutor put on was to send a message to the record producer who used to own the house. Key witnesses told him that the record producer was seem several times after the murders happened, and at trial the testimony was different.

#72When he moved to Spotify I suppose I'll get his podcasts from torrents, but then I end up finding far more interesting podcasts to replace him. After all if any of his episodes are interesting I can just listen them two years later.
Re: Joe Rogan, confined to Spotify, is losing influence
#73To be fair... his move to Spotify coincided with him spewing more and more anti-vax and anti-mask drivel that I don't have any interest in listening to.
He was always into the conspiracy stuff, and it was usually pretty light and interesting. The tone and guests definitely changed around the time he moved to Austin (no knock on Austin, I love that place). Politics and stuff I guess.
I lost interest too.

#748m not sure how his podcasts were distributed previously, but I would have thought a more multiplatform approach would work better long term. A lot of people don't have Spotify, I'm one of those, for the same price as Spotify I can get YouTube premium for me and the extended family, kill all ads, allow downloads and access to a decent music streaming catalog. Last time I checked the prices were not to dissimilar.

I don't think that's accurate. Do you have some links or anything to back that up? Like actual transcripts, not some media interpretation.
"People say, do you think it's safe to get vaccinated? I've said, yeah, I think for the most part it's safe to get vaccinated. I do. I do," Rogan said on the podcast. "But if you're like 21 years old, and you say to me, should I get vaccinated? I'll go no. Are you healthy? Are you a healthy person?"
"If you're a healthy person, and you're exercising all the time, and you're young, and you're eating well," Rogan continued, "like, I don't think you need to worry about this."
If this is what you are referring to, is that really anti-vax?
Re: Joe Rogan, confined to Spotify, is losing influence
#77The ones with Carmack and an ex-pilot (regarding UFO) were interesting. Other than that I really didn't have any knowledge of. It's more of the people he interviewed then his channel.
I had no idea John Carmack had gone on the podcast.
John Carmack and James Hetfield are a couple of very interesting guests he had.

#78Earlier quoted context omitted.
Spotify didn't bring over the old episodes with people like Alex Jones, Gavin McInnes, and Milo Yiannopoulos. > “There were a few episodes they didn’t want on their platform,” Rogan said, per DMN. “And I was like, ‘OK, I don’t care.'” https://www.thewrap.com/spotify-deletes-joe-rogan-podcast-ep...
Kinda curious, do fans .. .care about that? I guess some do but I don't think I ever listen to past podcasts that I've already listened to...

Beyond bad faith concern trolling, I suspect not.
Re: Joe Rogan, confined to Spotify, is losing influence
#79I wonder if Rogan would 'not lose influence' had he changed nothing.
Feels like these kind of personalities, while they can have long careers, growth / reach isn't infinite or sustainable.
Re: Joe Rogan, confined to Spotify, is losing influence
#80It's questionable whether online 'influencers' actually influence anyone beyond getting them to watch or listen to their show. What they definitely have is an audience, and that is valuable to the advertisers and marketers who do influence people, as well as prospective guests who want to promote themselves or a cause. I think influencers' main value for advertisers is acting as a magnet for certain demographics, pro…

Which is an absolutely fascinating case-study! It's easy to just write it off as "kids mimicking content creator for attention" but it goes so much deeper than this because it's a learned subconscious reaction to stress. It's like tapping your feet or biting your nails but interesting because it's verbal. It's kinda like if you say "like" or "um" to fill space when talking you never really have to think about it but you can stop if you practice.
